Hi Aran,
Yes, we'll still race if it's wet, so long as it's not pouring hard. Some of the "fair weather racers" will probably be tucked up indoors by the fire, but there should still be some racing going on. It's off-road after all! Just make sure you bring some waterproofing with you: Blu-Tak Kitchen towels Insulation tape. If you haven't raced in the wet before, you'll need to make sure that you plug all speedo/receiver connections with Blu-Tak first. I also then place a piece of folded kitchen towel over them and tape it down. That'll absorb any droplets of water before they get to your electrics.

Bag over the car, I have done that before,works surprisingly well. Idea stolen from Steven Pole blue tak and balloons I find most effective. Buggies are pretty good at keeping the water out of the chassis though. X6 especially good as it has the motor inside to.

For the record, as you may expect, the installation of said Blu-Tak, kitchen towel and tape would be done in such a way as to fit to my OCD principles. So don't worry, the OCD/Shambles balance of the world remains intact, even when it rains.
